Auxiliary Sciences to Geography

1. There are several sciences that can be considered auxiliary to geography, as they provide additional perspectives and tools for exploring and understanding the complex relationships between humans and the environment. Some of the most important sciences that can be auxiliary to geography include:
1. Mathematics
2. Biology
3. Economics
4. Sociology
5. Political Science

Hydrographic features or elements

1. Hydrographic features are physical features of bodies of water, including oceans, rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water. These features can include things like currents, tides, waves, depths, and temperatures. They are important because they provide information that is critical to a wide range of activities, such as shipping, fishing, recreation, and scientific research.
2. For example, hydrographic features such as currents and tides can have a significant impact on shipping routes and can affect the safety of ships and other vessels. Accurate information about water depths and underwater terrain is also crucial for safe navigation, as well as for the construction and maintenance of structures like bridges and pipelines.
3. Overall, hydrographic features play a critical role in many aspects of our lives, and the accurate measurement and monitoring of these features is essential for ensuring safe and effective use of our water resources.

What's the lithosphere?

• The lithosphere is the rigid, outermost layer of the Earth that is made up of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle.
• It is composed of solid rock that is broken into tectonic plates that move and interact with each other.
• The lithosphere is typically between 60 and 100 kilometers thick, although its thickness can vary depending on location and tectonic activity.
• It is responsible for supporting the weight of the continents and oceans, and it plays a critical role in the Earth's geology and dynamics.

Astronomical Influences: Sun-Earth-Moon system

• In the worldview and mythology of almost all ancient cultures, the Sun, the Moon, and the planets of the solar system, including the Earth, played a primary role.
• According to the Big Bang Theory - one of the most accepted on the origin of the universe - 13.5 billion years ago all the matter in the universe, which was concentrated in one point, suddenly exploded and expanded. With this the current universe was formed.

Astronomical Influences: Sun-Earth-Moon system

• It is estimated that the formation of the Solar System occurred 4.5 billion years ago, from the gravitational collapse of a part of a giant molecular cloud under conditions for which there is no unanimous agreement in the scientific community.
• The Earth is spherical in shape, but it is not a perfect sphere, rather it is slightly flattened at the poles and bulged around the equator. This unique shape of our planet is called a geoid.
• The surface of our planet is 510 million square kilometers and the length of its radius ranges from 6357 km (polar radius) to 6378 km (equatorial radius). Despite this, the Earth is a small planet in the universe as a whole.
• The Sun alone is one million three hundred thousand times bigger than it. The Moon, for its part, is even smaller, since it is about a quarter of the size of Earth.

Astronomical Influences: Sun-Earth-Moon system

• From a scientific point of view, Geography deals with some characteristics of our planet and its relationship with these celestial bodies. The interaction of the Earth with the Sun and the Moon has fundamental implications in the dynamics of the phenomena that directly affect us, such as day and night, the succession of the seasons, the flow of the tides, and even the climatic diversity. and the meteorological events that occur throughout our planet.
• Understanding the scientific foundations of these phenomena is essential to broaden our conception of the universe and our daily activities; Furthermore, it arouses our innate curiosity to continue the endless exploration of our existence.

Layers of the Sun

• The Sun is a massive star at the center of the solar system. It is composed of several layers that are differentiated by their temperature, density, and composition. Here are the layers of the Sun, starting from the center and moving outward:
1. Core:
2. Radiative Zone:
3. Convection Zone:
4. Photosphere:
5. Chromosphere:
6. Corona:

The Carbon Cycle

• The carbon cycle is a natural process that describes how carbon moves between living organisms, the atmosphere, and the Earth's crust.
• Carbon is a very important element for life on Earth, as it is a key component of organic molecules such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
• The carbon cycle can be broken down into several steps:

The Carbon Cycle

1. Carbon Fixation
2. Respiration
3. Decomposition
4. Combustion

The Carbon Cycle

1. Carbon Fixation
2. Respiration
3. Decomposition
4. Combustion

The Carbon Cycle

• These processes are interconnected, and carbon moves between the atmosphere, the oceans, and the land in a continuous cycle. For example, carbon that is fixed by plants can be eaten by animals, which then release carbon dioxide through respiration or decomposition. Carbon can also be absorbed by the oceans, where it can be stored for long periods of time.
• Human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation have disrupted this natural cycle, leading to an increase in carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere and contributing to climate change. It's important that we understand the carbon cycle and the impact that human activities can have on it, so that we can take steps to mitigate climate change and preserve the health of our planet.

Demography

• Demography is a discipline that studies the population from the analysis and interpretation of censuses, vital statistics and demographic surveys. Its main objective is the quantitative study of the population through the analysis of its general characteristics, its structure and its dynamics.
• Demography has an interdisciplinary character, while the quantitative data it obtains, from various statistical methods, must be put in context and analyzed taking into account other social sciences, such as History, Economics, Sociology and Geography, among others

INEGI

• The INEGI is the autonomous public body responsible for regulating and coordinating the National Statistical and Geographic Information System, as well as for capturing and disseminating information about Mexico regarding the territory, resources, population and economy, which makes it possible to publicize the characteristics of our country and help in decision making.

Indicators or Index

Some basic concepts for analyzing the demographic behavior of the human population are:

• Birth rate
• Fertility
• Mortality
• Life expectancy

Sustainable Consumption and Sustainable Development

Sustainable Consumption and Sustainable Development

• Sustainable consumption and sustainable development are interrelated concepts that aim to ensure the preservation of the environment, social equity, and economic well-being for both present and future generations. This lesson explores the key principles of sustainable consumption and sustainable development and provides practical guidelines for promoting a more responsible lifestyle.

What is Sustainable Consumption?

Sustainable consumption refers to the conscious acquisition and use of goods and services, minimizing negative impacts on the environment and maximizing social and economic benefits. Some important aspects of sustainable consumption include:

• Reduction of consumption:
• Responsible choices:
• Reuse and recycling:
